to change your heart,

to understand the pain of many, 

and to realize their pain is simply a reflection of your own.

I could see no nobler a cause.

I would stretch my throat toward you with love in my eyes 

and with gladness in my heart.

No fear of death would be present in that moment.

For I know my life was given so others could accept and feel their sorrows.

The tears you shed after this day will warm my heart and feed my soul. 

They will be the well from which I live on.

Release me from this mortal chain.

Free my conscious energy to float amongst all that I hold dear and near to me.

Allow me to join the night sky. 

To become one with the nurturing mother.

Let my atoms spray across the mountains and the vast plains.

Joining the rivers as they flow to the deepest depths of the ocean. 

Set my energy free.

Allow my fleshy companion to become one with the mud and dirt.

To nurture the tree

that bears its fruit for you to feed your body

and to strengthen your mind.

Although you will not see me again, I will always be present. 

My blood will be one with the water you drink. 

My body will be one with the fruits and meats you eat.

My soul will become one with all that you see.

I will remain a part of you for eternity. 

My love, my compassion will unravel the walls built by your hate and anger.

My light will shine through you as you release your blade and it falls to the Earth. 

I give you my life on this day to help you see the love I have for you.

This being the only gift I have to offer.

Release me to release yourself from the blindness you have,

that prevents you from accepting your true nature.

That stops you from giving your soul the love you so freely give to others.

This is my simple wish.

Make it quick and clean, 

so that I will not suffer in my death as I have in my life.

I want to speak a word that shatters walls—
That tears your heart out,
And lays it bare for those you love to see.
Let these words echo in your consciousness.

Let them find you standing on the edge.
May they reach you before you leap—
And give you strength to back away.
To hold on. To believe again.

When all seems lost, remember: you will be found.
Pain, too, is wondrous—it deepens the soul.
I have faith these words are from my heart
Speaking gently, fiercely, to yours.

They belong to you now.
Use them. One day, I pray, you’ll give them back to the world.

You are not alone.
We all ache because you’ve ached.
You are loved.
You are an artist.
You are the vision of perfect imperfection.

We see you—and we stand with you.
Your strength is a monument to love.
Show us who you are.
Be proud of what you’ve endured.

It was never your fault.
Release the shame.
Honor your past—it carved the beauty you now carry.
Let the colors of the cosmos flow through you,
Both shadow and starlight.

Dance with us—
In celebration of you.
I see you.

Yes—you.
The one you’ve locked away.
The soul you keep hidden,
Still screaming to be held by another aching soul.

We hear you.
And we long to hold you.
To feel the warmth birthed from your agony.

Let the fires of anger and hatred
Burn through the chains that bind you.
Rise from those ashes—
And join this tender, trembling army of love.

Where we lose every battle—
and in doing so we win the war.
